One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have worked for 14 months in the Democratic Republic of Congo, far from every "western" comfort one can imagine. It beats every past experience I have done in terms of emotions. The everlasting mark I will carry with me will be the respect I have felt by common people devastated by war and atrocities.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to share as many experiences as I can with people met around the globe.
Of course, I prefer meeting kind people that are interesting by my point of view but I have discovered with time that I am really a flexible person that is able to find positive aspects out of every experience I make.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share a part of my time, that is the most valuable thing I have.
Of course time is not sufficient per se, so I can provide a single bed :)
